I have been spending some time lately trying to put up smail 3.1.19 and I
have one semi-smart-ass remark. Good luck trying to set up a configuration
where you don't want to use 'cc' to compile things... (gcc anyone??).
'CC=cc' is in the "do not remove" part of every makefile, and I don't see and
way to change this. I tried hacking mkdepend.sh to delete the offending
CC=cc, but it still didn't quite work. The only solution I have had any luck
at all with is changing my PATH and have a shell script 'cc' that does what I
want it to. Any chance that this might be made a little less painful in
future releases?? Any other suggestions welcomed!

You might be able to do this by modifying the "MISC_SH_DEFINES" value in the conf/EDITME file. Something like: MISC_SH_DEFINES=' CC=gcc ' I use this to redefine LIBS, and it works fine. Haven't tried to redefine CC, though. -Lee Ziegenhals lcz@sat.datapoint.com

What I don't understand is why none of this program made it to Colorado.
I haven't seen either Smail3.0 or Smail 3.1..... I heard they would be
coming some time ago, have been looking for this, and received nothing.
